Move from scattered signals to a clearer account.

When an incident is stressful, teams need a grounded process. We help organize relevant records, test timelines against available evidence and explain limitations without jumping to conclusions.

01 / ESTABLISH

Define the investigation question

Clarify the reported event, authorized scope, relevant time window, systems and decision-makers before analysis begins.

02 / PRESERVE

Protect relevant records

Identify potential sources and coordinate proportionate preservation and collection with authorized owners.

03 / EXPLAIN

Report what evidence supports

Present methods, observations, relevant limitations and practical follow-up in language stakeholders can use.

Investigation process

A measured process, from intake to findings.

Each engagement is tailored to its purpose and evidence sources. The work follows a documented sequence so decisions and analytical steps remain understandable.

01

Intake & authority

Record the concern, objectives, authorization, scope and handling constraints.

02

Identify & preserve

Agree relevant sources, custodians and steps to protect information integrity.

03

Examine & correlate

Review approved material, compare records and develop a sourced event timeline.

04

Report & brief

Explain methods, observations, limitations and options for next action.

Incident and awareness coverage

Support for the events teams need to understand.

Scope may include internal security incidents and user-facing cybercrime concerns. We agree what can be examined and which response partners should be involved.

ACCOUNT & IDENTITY

Account compromise and impersonation

Review relevant authentication records, reported messages and account activity to help clarify the incident sequence.

FRAUD & PAYMENTS

Digital fraud investigations

Organize available transaction, communication and system records for an evidence-led review.

ENDPOINT & NETWORK

Suspicious device or network activity

Review authorized endpoint, service and network records to identify relevant indicators and timeline context.

DATA & ACCESS

Unauthorized access concerns

Help trace approved audit records, access events and system changes relevant to a scoped question.

ONLINE ABUSE

Harassment and impersonation

Support structured capture and organization of user-provided content and associated records for review.

READINESS

Cybercrime awareness and response

Brief teams on reporting channels, early preservation considerations, escalation and common social engineering patterns.

Evidence integrity & communication

Keep the record clear from the start.

Digital records can be fragile, incomplete or spread across systems. A clear log of what was received, who handled it and what was done helps others understand the work and its boundaries.

Important: Investigation activity must be authorized and appropriately scoped. Reporting can support internal decisions; legal conclusions and evidentiary admissibility depend on the facts, jurisdiction and qualified counsel.
01

Source and custodian record

Document where material came from, who supplied it and the agreed scope for review.

02

Handling and action log

Record receipt, transfer, access and relevant processing steps during the engagement.

03

Timeline with references

Link findings to source records and distinguish observed facts from interpretation.

04

Limitations and open questions

Explain unavailable data, uncertainty and areas that may need additional specialist review.

Frequently asked questions

Digital investigation, clearly explained.

Understand the scope, evidence handling and practical limits before an engagement begins.

After authorization and scoping, relevant sources are identified, preserved or collected as agreed, examined and correlated. The report describes methods, findings, limitations and recommended next steps.

Only where the requester has appropriate authority and the work is within an agreed scope. Ownership, consent, privacy, employment and other legal considerations should be reviewed with qualified counsel where relevant.

No. Attribution may be uncertain, incomplete or outside the available evidence. Findings distinguish what records show from hypotheses and identify limitations for further review.

We cannot guarantee admissibility or make legal determinations. Requirements vary by jurisdiction and matter; consult qualified legal counsel and follow any applicable authority and evidence procedures.

Use your incident response and reporting channels, contact relevant service providers or authorities where appropriate, and avoid unnecessary changes to potentially relevant records. Immediate containment and safety needs should take priority, guided by your response team.

Yes. Sessions can be tailored to employees, support teams or leadership and cover common scam patterns, safe reporting, escalation and practical early response considerations.
